Help us kill bad design - join our testing panel

Ever been paging through a user manual of biblical length and found yourself asking, “Why”?! Bought something you rarely use because, well, you just kind of don’t know how to, or you don’t like the way it makes you feel? Ever asked to speak to the manager, or vented your frustrations with poor service and design on social media? Ever looked at a website, product or service offering on the market and thought, “I could do that much better”, or, “If only they had done this…”?
Now is your chance to speak directly to the designers and decision-makers of big business, to voice your opinions and actually have them heard.Sign-up for the Gravity testing panel and play your part in steering businesses and organisations in the direction that you want and need.

At Gravity Ideas we believe in testing, everything. We offer a diversity of testing, research and experimentation services to our clients: from large-scale pilots, to one-on-one user insights and concept testing sessions, to client journey and experience analysis. We’ve spent a lot of time developing a bespoke suite of services ready to be tailored and implemented to our clients’ exact needs. If you’d like to find out more about the importance of testing, and what we offer, read what Gravity co-founder Sebastian Thompson has to say.

Whether we’re testing a concept; a product; a draft document, website or app; or an entire online or offline client experience, we place you – the client and customer, the individual – at the centre of all of our work. Essentially, we design the ‘tests’, ask you for your involvement and opinions, and we work hard to help our clients understand and implement effective, engaging and appealing user-centric design building out of your insights. If you’d like to have your say, register now.

You may be thinking, “This sounds quite a lot like ‘user testing’”. It is, but with some very important differences. At Gravity, we don’t deal with ‘users’, we deal with people. Each of us is a lot more, and a lot more complex, than an I.P. address and a click behind a computer. The label ‘user testing’ is quite misleading too because we are not testing you, we’re testing products, content, systems and services. You are our partner, not our lab rat. And because this is not a test, there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answer. You being you – that’s all you need to do.

You might also be thinking, “This sounds too good to be true”. It gets better.

You get paid for your ‘two cents’.

Sessions typically range from 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the type of testing.

You get to choose when, where and what testing you’d like to take part in, and keep your weekends free.

Sessions are either held at our or our clients’ offices midweek - during the working day, over your lunch break or in the early evening – or, from the comfort of your own home and at your leisure.

You get to explore, test and question concepts, products, systems and services from some pretty cool companies before anyone else.

You get to learn more about this cutting-edge research, and the technology and methods that support it.

You get to have your say, and have it counted.

Before each test we’ll send out an email with some finer details to all members of the testing panel that best suit our clients’ needs. You get to choose whether you’d like to be involved, and when would be most convenient for you. Do the test - get paid. It’s that easy.
